Gold Style in Photoshop

Ad

One of the best features in Photoshop is the Layer Styles. We can create all sorts of effects only using it, you can create, Plastic, Glass, Aqua, Ice, Metals, and many more.

Last week I was talking to a friend of mine and he told me that he needed to create a gold effect in Photoshop. He tried to find a good tutorial online but he said he didnt find any. I'm pretty sure that there are good tutorials showing how to do that, however I created my own Gold Style.

Now I'm writing a tutorial showing how to do that. It will probably be published at PSDTUTS.com, but you can take a look at the end result below.

This is an amazing case study that features an advertising work done by Ars Thanea for the Brazilian soccer team São Paulo. The concept for the ads was to show a são-paulino tearing away his skin to reveal a São-Paulo Football Club jersey. Check out how it was done step by step.

As a designer sometimes it gets frustrating to come up with new pieces with the same old brushes all the time. For that we have some very generous designers sharing great Photoshop brushes for free! Kudos for these guys for sharing such great presets.
Here you can see a nice selection of some super useful brushes. To download these freebies all you have to do is to click each image so that you can see the download link at Dribbble. Also, if you got your own design resources, we'd love to know! I hope you enjoy these. Cheers. ;)

Back to my image a week after a short vacation, much needed. I have also been spending my time with the new Abduzeedo which is looking much sleeker and soon will be going live. This week I decided to recreate an effect I saw a couple of weeks ago and I saved the screenshot because I thought it would be awesome to know how to do it. After a few tries I think I got a good result, at least worth sharing with you guys.
Step 1
Starting with the simple path of the Abduzeedo logo in Illustrator.

When you’re open to possibility, a challenge is always good—you learn something whether you succeed or fail. That was Erik Johansson’s perspective when we asked him to tackle a new challenge we’re calling “Take 10”: We give an artist one word and 10 digital images, and he or she must combine them into a new piece that represents the word. Johansson’s word was impulsive, and we think his response to the challenge was a success.
